On the second half of this week's Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast mega-show, Elan and Brian gather and analyze the latest fantasy hockey news, notes and data from the past season to work on projecting the 2023-24 NHL and fantasy hockey season, including:

• Do we have to wait on John Carlson the way we're waiting on Alex Ovechkin?
• Is it time to get off the Timo Meier ride?
• Is it time to get back on the Sam Bennett ride?
• Are we worried about superstars like Tage Thompson, Matthew Tkachuk and Kirill Kaprizov finding their games?
• Should you find room on your roster for Ryker Evans?
• ..and more!
